You certainly can tell summer is here, even if June 21st hasn’t shown up on the calendar yet. The smell of grilling drifts through the neighborhoods, school kids are getting antsy for that last day, Ricart Automotive Family activities are in full swing… oh, and the 2011 Mustangs are out, more the 2011 Super Duty trucks arrive almost daily, and the Fiesta is just around the corner. That’s a lot of stuff going on at The Ricart Megamall!
This past weekend, The Ricart Megamall played host to a Teen Driving Rally, two days of towing training, and Ford/ Microsoft SYNC clinic, all free to the public! Yeah, it does seem strange that a car dealer really does do things to enhance your automotive life AFTER YOU BUY, and even stranger to offer these programs to everyone, whether they are a Ricart customer or not! But that’s exactly what The Ricart Automotive Family does, regularly.
The Teen Driving Rally was a wildly successful and fun afternoon which combined driving safety with music, games, exhibitions, and prizes, all made possible by the collaboration of Columbus Division of Fire, MADD, Costco Wholesale, Columbus Public Health, Bloom School of Driving Dynamics, AAA, Sprint, Safe Communities, Sunny 95, The City of Columbus, American Family Insurance, and Ricart Automotive.
The towing training held both Saturday and Sunday, hosted by Ricart Ford with a hand from Paul’s Marine and Columbus Sail and Power Squadron allowed anyone who tows a trailer to learn the safest and most efficient ways to tow , and to gauge exactly what equipment best suits their needs. And as if we didn’t have a full enough weekend at Ricart, or SYNC Clinic helped even the most novice, low tech folks among us, easily learn how to use the Ford SYNC System, bringing them all happily into the twenty-first century.
You’ve got to admit, events like these enhance your vehicle ownership a bit more than an occasional call from a salesperson to see if you want another new car yet (if you even get that!). And at Ricart, we do this kind of stuff for you regularly. As a matter of fact, if you are into classic and custom cars and bikes, free live music, fun in the sun, all for a great cause, then join us at The Ricart Megamall Saturday (Mat 29th) from noon to six for the 2010 Earth Angel Car and Bike Super Cruise in, and “Be a Dream Maker”.
So I guess what we are saying is pretty simple. It’s one thing for a car dealer to say they value you after the sale, and completely another to actually offer you and your family experiences and activities that make your automotive life the best it can possibly be. That’s exactly what we do at Ricart Automotive.
If we don’t see you this weekend at The Ricart Megamall, we hope your family has a good Memorial Day weekend. Drive safely.
